This study was conducted to determine the relationship between digital game addiction and lifestyle behaviors in adolescents. Methods: The research was carried out in from three high schools offering different types of education in Maltepe district between March and April 2017. Data were collected by using the Introductory Information Form, Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale. Data were evaluated in computer environment. Descriptive data were shown with numbers, percentages and means. The relationship between game addiction and independent variables was evaluated by chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Logistic Regression Analysis. Results: 22.4% of adolescents were determined to be addicted to digital games. The mean scores of health responsibility, nutrition, interpersonal relationships and stress management of adolescents who had game addiction were significantly lower than the adolescents without game addiction. Digital game addiction rates were significantly higher in boys, vocational high school students, ninth grade students, and in those who described that their family had low income, that they had very poor relations with their families/friends, that they had very poor living conditions and that they were generally unhappy. Conclusions: It was determined that game addiction negatively affected adolescents' lifestyle behaviors, and there was a negative, low to moderately significant correlation between interpersonal relationships and stress management and game addiction.Publication Metadata only Hopelessness and social comparison in Turkish adolescent with visual impairment(WILEY, 2013) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Erol, S.; Ergun, A.The purpose of this study was to determine visually impaired adolescents' level of hopelessness and how they perceive of themselves socially compared to other individuals. Another purpose of this study was to look for relationships between hopelessness and social comparison in adolescents with visual impairment. The research population was comprised of 130 students at a secondary school for the visually impaired in Istanbul, Turkey. Our study demonstrated a weak relationship between social comparison and hopelessness (r=0.46, P < 0.000). The mean hopelessness score for the adolescents with visual impairment was 4.59 +/- 3.12 (girls: 4.23 +/- 3.10; boys: 4.83 +/- 3.11) and social comparison score was 87.50 +/- 11.19 (girls: 88.67 +/- 11.62; boys: 86.60 +/- 10.85). Hopelessness and social comparison were not affected by being blind from birth compared to later or from being a full-time boarding student compared to being a day student. The hopeless (Beck Hopelessness Scale score 9) adolescents' social comparison scores were found lower than hopeful ones' scores (P < 000). Factors affecting hopelessness and social comparison were feelings about their father, teacher and school.Publication Open Access The relationships between university students' physical activity levels, insomnia and psychological well-being(KARE PUBL, 2020) EROL, SAİME; Demirer, Ilkben; Erol, SaimeObjectives: This study aims to determine university students' physical activity levels, insomnia and psychological well-being, and to examine the relationships between them. Methods: This descriptive and correlation-seeking research's sample included 702 voluntarily participating students studying in the faculty of health sciences and the faculty of science and letters at a university. The data were collected using a 23-item participant information form, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Bergen Insomnia Scale (BIS) and the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWBS). Descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the chi-squared test, logistic regression analysis and the Games-Howell post hoc test were used to evaluate the data. Results: Of the students, 20.4% were inactive, 57% were minimally active, and 22.6% were sufficiently active. Of them, 59.3% had insomnia. The participants' PWBS scores were above average (40.23 +/- 8.18). The students who described themselves as having a bad psychological state had more insomnia, and a one point increase in the PWBS score reduced the risk of insomnia by a factor of 0.972. The students with bad family relationships had increased risk of insomnia by a factor of 1.512, the students who had continual headaches had increased risk of insomnia by a factor of 2.504, and the students who used phones in bed had increased risk of insomnia by a factor of 1.760. Conclusion: High physical activity levels increased psychological well-being, and high psychological well-being scores, good family relationships and regular physical activity reduced insomnia.Publication Open Access Risk factors affecting the mental health of first-year university students on a health sciences campus and related factors(2022-11-01) EROL, SAİME; GÜR, KAMER; ÇALIK, KEVSER BURCU; UZUNER, ARZU; KARACA, SEMRA; APAYDIN KAYA, MEMNUNE ÇİĞDEM; EROL S., GÜR K., KARACA S., ÇALIK K. B. , UZUNER A., APAYDIN KAYA M. Ç.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the mental health status and risk factors for the mental health of first-year university students on a health sciences campus. Design/methodology/approachThis is a descriptive study. The research was conducted with first-year students in the health sciences, dentistry and medical faculties of a state university (n = 770). The data were collected with a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Risk Behavior of Young Adults Survey, the Bergen Insomnia Scale, General Health Questionnaire-28 and the Mental Health Improvement Scale. Body mass index was calculated. FindingsAmong the students, 53.7% experienced feelings of hopelessness in the last year and 1% had attempted suicide. The percentage of students found to be at risk in terms of mental health was 41.9%; 39.4% reported that they suffered from insomnia. It was found that those who had been subjected to bullying, felt hopelessness, had suicidal thoughts, planned to commit suicide and students who experienced sleeping problems were more at risk in terms of psychological issues (p < 0.01). Insomnia (beta: 3.341) and smoking (beta: 2.226) were identified as the strongest risk factors for mental health in first-year health sciences students (p < 0.005). Practical implicationsThe results of the research offer an opportunity to get to know the characteristics of first-year university students who are at risk for mental health. It offers the opportunity to closely monitor and protect the mental health of students starting from the first grade. Originality/valueIn this study, it was determined that approximately half of the first-year university students were in the risk group in terms of mental health. Female gender, having a chronic illness, smoking a day or more in the past 30 days, not doing any physical activity, having a weak BMI, being bullied in the past 12 months, being cyberbullied in the past 12 months and having insomnia have been identified as risk factors that negatively affect mental health.
